Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (President and CEO: Atsushi Yanagisawa), a consolidated subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (President and CEO: Junichi Hanzawa, hereinafter 'MUFG'), today established the MUFG Real Estate Research Institute (Director: Satoshi Hiroya) to solve social issues related to real estate and contribute to the sound development of the real estate market.
1. Purpose
The Japanese real estate market faces social issues such as population decline, changes in urban structures, and an increase in aging real estate. In this context, high-quality information is essential to support corporate and individual real estate utilization decisions, such as improving productivity through efficient utilization of low-occupancy properties and advancing real estate utilization with a view to improving employee engagement.
Furthermore, as globalization of the market accelerates, it is required to enhance competitiveness and create an attractive market environment for the Japanese real estate market to 'continue to be chosen' internationally.
The MUFG Real Estate Research Institute will promote social value-driven research and studies with a medium-to-long-term perspective, contributing to market transparency and diversification of market participants by collecting and disseminating reliable information based on the high public nature of a trust bank. It will also support the development of human resources capable of conducting research, studies, and practical work from a long-term perspective by sharing knowledge related to real estate through the activation of industry networks. The MUFG Real Estate Research Institute will provide value to both society and the market as a foundation for the sound development of the Japanese real estate market into an 'even more attractive market.'
2. Future Outlook
With 'public interest' and 'reliability' as its core, the MUFG Real Estate Research Institute will further deepen the real estate market research activities of Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, and will conduct academic paper writing, medium-to-long-term real estate market trend analysis, and creation/announcement of various market data. Furthermore, it will contribute to the sustainable development of the market by going beyond the scope of a single company and developing initiatives to train human resources with specialized real estate knowledge ( 'Tsunagu Juku ~Next Generation Real Estate Human Resource Development Program~' ), thereby activating industry networks.
In addition to publishing these results as research and study reports (tentative title: 'MUFG Real Estate Research Report') on the 'MUFG Real Estate Research Institute' website (https://www.tr.mufg.jp/fudousan-ken/index.html), the MUFG Real Estate Research Institute will contribute to the further development of the real estate market through information dissemination by holding regular symposiums and seminars.
